After a few months of jerky driving around town and when I lift off the trottle I though it was about time I looked at my engine mount.
Rocking the engine I had quite a bit of play in the top engine stay bar bush.

A quick call to Barbz and he sorted me out with a solid alloy replacement. Barbz said the original bush would be so worn it would probably just push out... He was right <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> the original bush was shot !

It doesnt take long to whip off the header tank to gain access to it, the old shot bush just pushed out with a little help from a screwdriver. A spot of grease on the new solid alloy bush and it just pushed straight in.

Once it was all bolted back together the difference was immidiately noticeable, where I used to be able to rock the engine 1/2" by hand, now there is hardly any play at all, much better. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If your coupe is a little jerky when your on and off the clutch round town or when lifting off the throttle then give Barbz a shout.

Price? My kappa road car behaves like that, guess these things just creep up on you and you forget they weren't always like that

Probably a different shape mount of course ;-)

Hello Guys, as I toll before somewhere here in the forum, I needed some picture or designed for this engine mount. Well nobody answer and I decided designed one myself and here are the pictures for the results. I hope this help some of you that need the same.
Autocad Design
Support
Support in Place
As you can see, I did not make it completely in metal. I used the metal center of the old engine mount or support and the exterior I used Teflon because is easy to work, cheaper than steel, none affected for heat……..well it is plastic. But you could use metal.
The diameter for the support is 35 mm but is better 34.5 mm because that way is easy to install it. With 35 mm was very had make it get in place.

Trevor,

Give barbz a call, I cant remember the exact price of the bush, I got it along with some poly bushed wishbones so it was all on the same bill.
